The worst thing you can do for your clutch is depressing it slowly to go into gear. You want the clutch and fly wheel to have a quick and almost immidiate contact at the lowest possible RPM to avoid added wear. The more practice the better you become and the feeling will almost replicate the smoothness of an automatic.

High RPMs shifting and downshifting will prematurely wear the clutch regardless whether or not you rev match.
